Only That Which Came About By Itself Is Real

Only That Which Came About By Itself Is Real, is a definition I accept. If something exists and is not real, then that thing, by necessity, is artificial, as in artifice.

If I do not believe the universe itself is real, then I must believe in a creator. Because I think, does not mean I am real, and it does not prove the universe is real.

If we are created, we are not real, by the definition above. All things we have built are artificial, of course, because they came about at the hands of creators. They have the reality of recognition, but not the reality of origin required to be fully real. Anything created did not "come about," but was made.

To believe we and the universe are real, I must also believe that all properties required to produce matter and then life, also came about unaided by anything, remember. These properties must have been intrinsic, then, to nothingness itself, which can have no such properties. This contradiction is undeniable. Since nothingness could have no such properties, we were created.
